Local power grids would get stronger protection against attacks and bad weather
States would be required to add plans for physical and cybersecurity of local energy systems to their existing energy security plans. This means better protection for the power you use every day. States would also work with equipment suppliers to make these systems more secure.
Today, states create energy security plans that address general hazards to energy systems, and a related program is authorized until 2025. If this bill becomes law, states would specifically include physical and cybersecurity for local power grids (those 100 kilovolts or less) in their plans, consult with equipment suppliers, and the program would be extended until 2030.
